ABOUT DESIGN HOTELS™

Design Hotels™ represents and markets a curated selection of over 290 independent hotels in more than 60 countries across the globe. More than a collection of hotels, the company is a collection of stories. Each property reflects the ideas of a visionary hotelier, an "Original", someone with a passion for genuine hospitality, cultural authenticity, thought-provoking design, and architecture. Each "Original" stands for the individual, aesthetic, and service-driven experience that his or her hotel provides.

Founded by Claus Sendlinger in 1993, Design Hotels™ offers its members insightful travel industry knowledge, from market trend consultancy to international sales representation. The company has its headquarters in Berlin and branches in London, Barcelona, New York, and Singapore.

In 2015, Design Hotels™ joined forces with Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG®), enabling its member hotels to have both a greater and more selective reach while offering its Community the benefit of the industry’s leading loyalty program. Now one of three leading loyalty programs under Marriott International, SPG members can link accounts with Marriott Rewards® and The Ritz-Carlton Rewards® for instant elite status and unlimited points transfer.
